To Maria's Family,

I had the pleasure of working with your Mom at CNB when we both started as Tellers back in the age before the computers as we now know. After that, I had the privilege of working with her as she was the Officer who handled Richard Lapidus' accounts and worked on many cases with us for CNB. She was always so good to me and my family, always teasing about my little boy who, by the age of 8 was taller than your Mother and me. Your Mother and I shared a love of our Lord and so I know that she and your Father are together in Heaven, walking hand-in-hand. I was very saddened to hear about her passing, but know that she is very happy and safe walking with your Father and together with our Lord. She will be watching over all of you as she always did.



Love and God Bless all of you,

Jeanne Lake Turk
